CHAPTER SIXTEEN YES! and the bedpost was his own. The bed was his own, the room was his own. Best and happiest of ail, the time before him was his own, to make amends in! "I will live in the past, the presend and the future!” Scrooge repeated as he scrambled out of bed ‘‘Tlie spirits of all three shall strive within me. Oh, Jacob Marley i Heaven and the Christmas time be praised for this! I say it on my knees, old Jacob; on my knees!” He was so fluttered and so glowing with his good intentions that his broken voice would scarcely answer to his call. He had been sobbing violently in h s conflict with the Spirit, and his face was wet with tears. “They are not torn down,” cried Scrooge, folding one of his bed curtains in his arms; “they are not torn down, rings and all. ’ They are here—l am here—the shadows of the things that would have been

"I don t know how long I have been among the Spirits. I don’t know anything I’m quite a baby. Never mind. 1 don’t care. I'd rather be a baby Hallo! Whoop!

them the direction where to take it. Come back with the man and I'll give you a shilling. Come back with him In less than five minutes and I'll give you half a crown!” The boy was off like a shot. He must have had a steady hand at a trigger who could have got a shot off half so fast. "I’ll send it to Bob Cratchit's,” whispered Scrooge, rubbing his hands and splitting with a laugh "He shan’t know who sends it. It’s twice the size of Tiny Tim. Joe Miller never made such a joke as sending it to Bob’s will be!” The hand in which he wrote the address was not a steady one; but write it he did, somehow, and wei.v downstairs to open the street door, ready for the coming of the poulterer’s man. As he stood there, waiting his arrival, the knocker caught his eye. “I shall love it as long as I live!" cried Scrooge, patting it with his hand. "I scarcely ever looked at it before. What an honest expression it has in its face! It’s a wonderful knocker! Here’s the turkey. Hallo! Whoop! How are you? Merry Christmas!” It was a turkey!

off in a minute, like sticks ot sealing wax. Why, it's impossible to carry that to Camden Town,” said Scrooge. "You must have a cab.” The chuckle with which ne said this and the chuckle with which he pa.d for the turkey and the chuckle with which he paid for the cab and the chuckle with which he recompensed the boy were only to be exceeded by the chuckle witli which he sat down breathless in his chair again and chuckled till he cried. Shaving was not an easy task, for his hand continued to shake very much; and shaving requires attention, even when you don't dance while you are at it. But if he had cut the end of his nose off, he would have put a pivce ot sticking-plaster over it, and been quite satisfied. He dressed himself "all in hi! best,” and at last got cui into the streets. The people were by this time pouruig iortn. as he nad seen them with the Ghost of Christmas Present; and walking with his hands behind him, Scrooge regarded every one with a delignted smile. He looked so irresistibly pleasant, in a word, that three or tour goodhumored iellows said "Good morning, sir! A merry Christmas to you!” And Scrooge said often afterward, that of all the blithe sounds he nad ever heard, those were ine biiiiiest ui his ears. He had not gone far when, on toward him, he beheld the pdJuy gentleman who had walked into lux counting house tile day before and said Scrooge at Marley s, I believe?” it sent a pang across ins heart to thins how this old gentleman would look upon him when they met; but ne knew wnat path lay straight before hint, and he took it. "My dear sir," said Scrooge, quickening his pace, and taking the old gentleman by both hands. "How do you do? I hope you succeeded yesterday. It was very kind ct you. A merry Cnristnias to you, sir!” "Mr. Scrooge?” "Yes,” said sirooge. “That is my name, and 1 tear it may not be pleasant to you. Allow me to ass your pardon. And will you have the goodness ” here Scrooge whispered in his ear. "Lord bless me!” cried the gentleman, as it ins breath were taken away. "My dear Mr. Scrooge, are you serious?” "IX you piease,” said Scrooge. “Not a fanning less. A great many bacx payments are inciuaed m it, I assure you. Will you do me mat favor?" "My dear sir,” said the otner, shaking hands with hun. "1 don t know wnat to say to such munifl ” "Don't say anything, piease,” retorted Scrooge. "Come ana see me. Will you some and see me?” "I will!” cried the old gentleman. And it was ciear he meant to do it. “Thank’ee,” said Scrooge. "I am much obliged to you. I thank you fifty times. Bless you!” He went to church, and walked about the streets, and watched the people hurrying to and fro, and patted the children on the head, and questioned beggars, and looked down into the kitchens of houses, and up to the windows; and found that everything could yield him pleasure. He had never dreamed that ary walk — that anything — could give him so much happiness. In the afternoon he turned his steps toward his nephew’s Concluded Tomorrow
